“At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk wel...” — W. Somerset Maugham Quote

“At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.”

“I know that I shall die struggling for breath, and I know that I shall be horribly afraid. I know that I shall not be able to keep myself from regretting bitterly the life that has brought me to such a pass; but I disown that regret. I now, weak, old, diseased, poor, dying, hold still my soul in my hands, and I regret nothing.”
